Ok, This thread is way to good to die, so I've decided to help it along by sharing one of my own "inventions" I give you: The Squid... Thing!!!
... Alright, I'm not really good at names. Anyways, It's time I showed you how to make it!
First, make a structure like so. It is exactly how it looks, a block on the bottom, two on all its sides:
Next, start spawning in the squids as fast as you can!
When you've spawned in a ton (and I mean a ton) of squids, it should look like this:
The last thing to do, is walk into one of the hollow points that, if not left out, would make a box. Simply walking in got me this far:
Jumping got me so far out that I couldn't find it (and didn't have the patience to)!
You've got it, this device launches the player huge distances! This can even be used on survival with a squid farm! It uses the same concept of the cow machine gun and all other inventions like it do, the fact that though mobs can "stack", the more they do the more violently they try to get away from each other. The power, therefore, does depend on the amount of squids in the thing, and I had a ton, so unless you're patient, you may not have such large results.
Don't let this thread die, share your own "inventions"!

-snippity-
Amazing!
Edit: I just realised something: For all the support you give this thread, you've never repped :P. I'm not complaining, or urging you too, I just thought it was funny.
Because I refuse to let this thread die, I give you...
The Chicken Bomb
This wonderful contraption lets you drop a... chicken bomb down upon your enemies! But that's not all! The contents of The Chicken Bomb are completely natural and biodegradable, so you can feel good while you drop this malicious bomb upon your enemies and unwitting friends! I know what you're thinking. "Why not just spawn a bunch of chickens in their house and get it over with without the fancy stuff?" Because there is nothing better than setting this wonderful contraption up over someone's house, loading it, and proceeding to tell them to come outside and look up. The best part??? They can't do anything about it! You can't shoot it, you can't whack it, and you would need to be incredibly prepared to be able to safely move this slowly descending horror(and, if the person who's dropping the bomb on you can't recognize what the giant piston thing is over your house, they don't deserve to bomb it)! Now, before I share the terrible and wonderful secret of The Chicken Bomb, you must promise that... You keep this thread alive! Post your own inventions! Comment on the goodness that rests inside! Do other, awesome stuff that stops it from dying! Without further ado, I give you...
The Chicken Bomb!!!: (please do not use around small childeren. Do not ingest. If your doctor tells you to stay away from loud, repetitive, electronic, fake chicken noises, do not use. If you wet your pants at the prospect of bombing someone while saving an animal from possible future extinction, wear a diaper before use. Chicken Bomb Inc. is not responsible for any wet pants, clogged ingestion, screaming children, real chickens having seizers because there hearts beating to fast out of excitement, and other, similar, side affects.)
Step one towards world domination:
Tower up really high, the higher it is, the more time you have to see it fall! Then, build this thing. It's just a container to keep them in.
Step two in terrifying your neighbors:
Spawn in lots of chickens. The more you have, the bigger the bomb will spread, and the more terrifying it will be.
Step three in making your admin employ you in his secret service:
Release the bomb by breaking the bottom block. Watch, and post the after results and character reactions! Take screenshots! Laugh in pity! Feel powerful!!! RULE THE WORLD!!! BWAHAHAHAH!!! Ahem, sorry, got a bit carried away.
Bonus features: (Because you can't have enough pictures)
The bomb in the air. The best part, is that it actually looks like one (somewhat)! Imagine seeing this thing drift down on your base, and feel helpless!
A very nice side view. This is what you would see for your last second or two.
The thing exploding on contact with the ground.
Important Note: It is possible (and more fun) to detonate this prematurely in the air. Shoot it with enough arrows, and get lucky, or collide with it repeatedly (in the air somehow). However, when the bomb is exploded in the air, it will be more spread out, because the ground isn't making any friction for the mobs, so it is easier to go further. But, just imagine the terror on the victims face as it explodes three seconds from the ground, showing just how may chickens there are!
That. Is. AMAZING! Gimmie more pictures! I want to see pictures of this thing in action, loading, collection, and more! I EAT PICTURES!!! FEED MEEE!
In other words, share your twist on this invention with more than just a video!
I posted a bunch of images on the video thread. Under construction and completed screens. It's hard to get action shots with this and I don't want to load it up again.

Ahh. Missed that for some reason, sorry. Anyways, great job adapting the machine gun and making it practical (somewhat)!
Wow, I'm surprised at all the activity, and all the amazing inventions that you guys have come up with! I though this thread was well and truly dead.
As many times as you say that, you have to realize, this thread is wonderful, and letting it die would really be a shame... Why people seem to ignore it is beyond me, but hey, their loss. This reminds me, though, I really do have to think up something else, or use this on my server or something... (*plots*)

I'll admit the cows launching from this contraption is nearly as funny as RDJ's witty quotes. Nearly
Repping is pressing the little green button at the bottom right of the post.
Edit: Added a video to the OP. Check it out!
Ahhhh. Never knew how that helped. Just knew it increased the number thing.
My, you must have had tons of cows... The lag must have been horrific! You can't go wrong with good old Sherlock, though I'm partial to the movies

Now remember, post the results!
I set about making it in Survival mode and just uploaded a video of it.

I will show it soon.
